I'm finished my first day in the casino. A lot easier than I thought it would be. A lot more fun too.

People of different departments like to harass each other with jokes and stories. The slot techs are the cages' main source of entertainment and vice versa.

I accidently left my lunch leftovers in the fridge at work. That thing was jammed full of lunch bags. A few more lunches and it would be a booby trap for any person who opens it.

Right now, I rate the job as 6.5 out of 10. It's an interesting job, but there's room for improvement.

I'm now an offical employee of the casino. After two days of registration, getting passwords/pin codes, and reveiwing the manuals and handbooks, my training will begin tomorrow.

For the next week I will work the graveyard shifts. This will be a BIG change for me.

7:00pm-5:00am / 3:00pm-1:00am / 5:30pm-3:30am

I've met and chatted with my trainer. Nice guy. He was very helpful and had lots of advice.

Heh. My manager decided while we were getting registered, that he would tell his herotic tale of how he started off in our job position and now he is at the top. We all got the moral of the story. Hard work pays off.

I've awoken again with Jude hogging my bed. I don't know how she does it! She's a small dog! How does she manage to push a human of my size over to the edge of the mattress?

But I must admit, she is cute nuzzling my ankles with her nose.

Jude's lucky she's cute or I'd shove her off the bed. (Not really. I'm too much of an animal lover to do something that mean.)

Speaking of cute animals, I got to see my old co-worker's shitzu puppies again. The little male is named Cujo because he looks like a teeny, weeny Saint Bernard.

Also, my mom and I have found a nice farm home for our beagle, Lexie. She deserves to run around, not stay cooped up in the house for days. We can't leave her alone outside, every dog in the area, Jude included, tries to hump her every time. X(

Thrusday at 9am I start my job training. Still a little nervous, but things seemed cool today when I met my new co-workers and manager.

My uniform for the job: blue button-up shirt, black slacks, black socks, and black dress shoes.

Two shirts and pants were provided to us. My co-workers and I were told we had to go downtown to B&D's Men's Wear to get fitted for our uniform. My pants have to be altered because of my short legs.

Had to go buy dress shoes. Socks are not a worry. I have a mountain of black socks at home!

Now all I have to worry about is my hair. I have no clue about hair styles! I don't even know how to use a bobby pin!

I've just tied my hair back in a ponytail since Grade 8. Quick and easy. Now my younger sisters' are going to teach me about hair.

*sigh* Tired. I'm going to listen to Charley Pride.

1 hour and 5 minutes to go.

I finished my last shift at the pizza place this morning and I'm almost finished my last shift at the movie place.

Then...FREEDOM! (Until I'm called into my new job.)

This is exciting!

What a memory!

My Daddy-Dearest played my knight in shining armor. He used his semi to pull me out of a muddy ditch. I went in while I was on my way to pick him up for his Father's Day dinner outing.

THIS IS WHY I HATE THE MUD!!!!

He laughed at how shaken I was. I laughed too.

My Daddy-Dearest's birthday and Father's Day are so close together.

Not long after the dust settles from his B-Day, Father's Day pops up.

Upping the party of what feels like a hundred family members is a very hard task. If it was a couple months apart, then the BBQ party wouldn't be so fresh in his mind. A card and free food or a small gift would plenty by his standards.

Thankfully he's willing to take my offer of going to out to eat for dinner.

It's hard to shop for that man.

The movie threater may be a 1 hour drive from my small town/country home, but I'd be more then happy to stand in line for the midnight showing on Transformers 2 on the 23rd!!

However, I made plans months ago with my cousin Terri that we would stand in line together for as many hours as it would take to get inside. She lives in the opposite direction by 3 hours. I stood in line for 2 hours for the 2007 Transformers movie, but in a much smaller city.

Funny thing is, Terri decided she'd tell me only a few days ago that advance tickets for Transformers 2 have been on sale for 2 WEEKS where she lives!!

AH!! It didn't occure to her until then to tell this bit of info? She's just as big a Transformer fan as I am. But, I think it's mainly for Starscream.

I begged her to go and get those ticket. She agreed.

I'm going to see the movie~!!

I've been drinking only water, iced tea and milk for so long that my tummy now acts up I try drink pop.

As a kid I could drink so many cans of pop and nothing, except burps.

I miss thee carbonated beverages!

Oh well, I'll just drink a bottle of Brisk Iced Tea. :3

The power outage season has arrive! The time of heavy winds, heavy rain, and lots of lightening and thunder! WEEE!!

Lightening and thunder makes me giddy. I love the smell of rain!

What I hate about the whole experience is the mud afterwards. I just plain hate the mud. It's messy and muddy grid roads are not fun.

Heh. I've stock up on emergency candles and matches for power out season. We'll be needing them. A lot.

That doesn't stop my dad from making his own pack (includes EM candles, matches, glow sticks, flashlight, & extra batteries) which he stuffs into my room. How nice.

As troublesome as it shows, everyone sitting around in the candlelight is soothing. Nice family time!

Jude gets her shots today. I wonder if she'll remember the Vet. It's been 1 year since she's seen Doc Miles.

Funny how Jude doesn't even acknowledge that there's a needle peircing her skin, but acts like it's the most horrible experience when the Doc gives her dewormer.

The opposite happen with our other doggy, Lexie.

Cries like hell while she gets the shot, but thinks the jar of dewormer is candy. The Doc and nurses laughed and grabbed the jar away.

Doc Miles just loves Lexie. Even asked if we bred her with another Beagle (Doc has a friend that owns a beagle) if he can have/buy one of the puppies.

I personally think that Jude's the cuter one. Shitzu/Terrior mix breed. But Lexie is the one who roll over 7 times in a row for a trest.

It's done. I got my new job and I'm leaving old two behind.

Today I sat behind a desk for 2 1/2 hours filling out form after form for my new job.

My title is Cage Cashier. Although one of the mangers told me that my job is more like a Bank Attendent.

Now I just have to wait 2-6 weeks for my Tags/worker's ID to arrive and I'll begin my training.

I personally hope it takes 4 weeks. I leave my current jobs in 2 weeks and I would like time to rest. Only problem is I wouldn't know what to do with myself... :(

Just 2 more days and my Pizza-Boss is back. She's gone down to the States to pick up her kids. She gets them over the summer. Good kids.

Pizza-Boss' husband proves to be useless around thr shop. LL and I have taken charge and it is exhausting.

I don't know if I can take another 10 hour day. My feet are sore and my back aches. I was lucky that I got to go to my tragic interview yesterday.

Taking orders, making the food, cleaning the place, keeping shelves and coolers stocked, & handling all the deliveries. I'm a waitress, I can't handle all this!

It wasn't pleasent when I had to explain to the Pizza-Boss' husband that I had to run uptown to the drug store to buy "female supplies." Pizza-Boss would have just let me go... :(

Well....I think that job is now a little out of reach.

What a great time for PMS. I was heavily emotional. I was so nervous I was shaking on the spot. What joy. :(

The written part of the interview was simple. I calmed down here because I was a seperate room.

Well, I better pull out my applicaton for Wal-Mart.

I need sleep. My interview is only a few hours away. :(

My outfit is picked out. Zit on my forehead has cleared. Alarm clock is set. Everything is go!

The dog is hogging my bed! Get off Jude! Or at least push over...!

My mom said she would tag along. Good thing. I don't know if I can drive like this.

I did research on the job in case they ask me anything involving the business. I can at least make myself sound a little smarter. :3

My co-workers must really have thought I was a freak today. I couldn't help myself!

I got the call and I got a job interview!

Sure IF I get the job it won't be the #1 job in the world, but $18.85/hr sounds so sweet! Add on top my First Nations status and it'll be tax free!

Good-bye car loan!!

Bad news! I got a HUGE zit in the middle of my forehead. Interview is on Friday! -_-;

I want more TFA!!

I wanna know what happens next!

What happened to BA and Wasp? What happened to Swindle? What about all the those Decepticon forces? Are they still waiting by the space bridges or did they flee? Is that jerk SP still gonna be in charge? Are they gonna fixed Ultra Magnus? Will Sari help? Is that all that's left of the protoforms? They gonna come online? How'd Sari first get to Earth? Was Prowl's manifestation from the Allspark energy just a one time thing?

So many questions!

Another note: I found my cousin's reaction amusing. She loves Starscream and Prowl is the only Autobot she's taken a liking too. She thinks she's destined to like TFs that will evenually go offline. ^-^;

I've discovered the true reason my mom convinced me to move closer to home. She wants my younger sisters to move in with me. They want to go to school in the smaller city this fall.

Now if they were hard working and reliable girls I would happily do it, but they're not. Neither have ever had a job, they stay out all night, sleep past noon and their record of being good students last 3 months.

Don't get me wrong, I love these girls, but I just don't like or approve of their habits.

This is giving me one super, large headache.

Although it is kinda funny watching the two argue with our parents how its unfair that they have to live with a watchdog (aka me).

The destination has changed, but the plans remain the same.

Instead of moving to the big city 3 hours away, I will be moving to a much smaller city 1 hour away.

I'm still going to follow certain parts of my original plan, just on a smaller scale.

I do feel guiltly. I've just told my cousin the bad news and she was rather upset. I've promised to learn to drive in the big city so I can visit her often.

My parents are prepared to help me out if I need it. They would have done the same if I moved to the bigger city, but I think they like the fact that I'll be closer to home.

On another note, my fav place to eat burned down yesterday. A kitchen fire got out of hand. Luckly no one was hurt, but I'll never get to eat the Taco Salad or Burger and fries I love so much again. :(
